Otherwise, the best training is actual combat. After six months of high-intensity navigation and warfare, the sailors of the coast guard have become more and more accustomed to operating large ships on the turbulent oceans, and they have grown very rapidly.

While quickly moving south to seize the mouth of Futian Bay, the punishment fleet also completed the whole formation during the voyage, and twenty-one battleships formed a neat column and quickly blocked the entire mouth of the bay.

Seeing that the Ming Dynasty warship did not mean to pounce immediately, Colonel Pinto on the Duke of Goa first breathed a sigh of relief, as if the Ming Dynasty people were shocked by their huge warship and did not dare to act rashly.

But immediately, he frowned again, because the tactics adopted by the Ming Dynasty were so strange and familiar.

He said that he was strange because he had never seen the Ming Dynasty before, and even Asians had adopted such a queue method...... They always follow the thinking of the army, and divide their fleet into the front, rear, middle, left, right, and so on, and engage the enemy at full speed, striving to start a broadside battle.

Of course, this is understandable, because for a fleet that lacks heavy firepower, the so-called naval battle is nothing more than a land battle that moves the battlefield to the sea. That's how those stupid Mediterranean countries fought with the Ottomans.

But countries like Portugal and Spain, which have the most advanced navies, are no longer so brutal. Decades ago, the Royal Navigation School of Sagres taught future captains that 'you should do your best to avoid getting too close to your enemies, and that you can destroy them with your cannons...... This allowed the war to be fought in safer conditions, and also reduced the losses of the fleet's crews. ’

In any case, therefore, the Portuguese overseas fleet always met the enemy in a line of lines, firing once on the side and turning the direction in order to return for the next round of shelling.

But in the seas of East Asia, where there were few opportunities to form a fleet, the Portuguese had not yet performed the battle line tactics that they relied on to conquer Africa and the Indian Ocean...... Yes, the battle line was invented by the Portuguese and achieved brilliant success, and not the British, the Anglo-Saxon bandits who always wanted to take everything for themselves, not even to spare other people's honor!

Considering that four hundred years later, the Ansa people still want to expel the Portuguese and Spaniards from the white race, and what is the point of robbing them of their name? Didn't you see that the people who liberated Berlin have become noble Angsa, and they have nothing to do with Maozi?

Phew, shameless, even with the lights off! Blatant, disgusting!

~~

When Pinto saw that the Ming Dynasty's fleet was also using the same tactics, the whole person was a little messy.

Because this shows at least three things: first, their naval thinking has been innovated; Second, they have enough confidence in their artillery; Third, their ships had also become sturdy enough to withstand the recoil of heavy artillery salvos......

"I just said, these damn Ming people are too good at imitation! Our precious galleon, let them look at it and get pregnant! "Pinto doesn't believe that his opponent can match the Royal Navy by imitation alone, but now that the enemy is outnumbered, he really can't act rashly until he has to do so.

He immediately had people signal the Oriental Beauty to receive the flagship on the right to open fire.

At the same time, he ordered the Chinese sailing ship to retreat, although the ship was not worth a few dollars, but it was full of Japanese gold and silver from trade, and it could not be lost.

~~

Colonel Pinto was right about at least one thing, and that was that the Ming people were stunned by their two castle-like ships.

In the past, they had been facing the fragile Japanese navy, and no matter how arrogant and rash the officers and men of the coast guard were, they would inevitably have the arrogance of underestimating the heroes of the world.

Only now did they know what it meant to have a heaven outside the sky. The smaller Western sailing ship is also a whole circle larger than its own 101 ship, the Wan Hu Wuwei ship!

And that one size super-galleon, must not be four or five times the size of the previous one?

In fact, the displacement of the Duke of Goa is only two and a half times that of the Oriental Beauty, but its towering bow and stern make it seem excessive.

Looking at the grim expressions of the generals under him, Zhao Gongzi was very satisfied, and he said a thousand things and ten thousand, it was better to let them see it with their own eyes, and they were impressed.

Think about it, the main fleet of the European maritime powers in the future will be able to dispatch one or two hundred such warships. Even the detachment of their overseas colonies also has more than a dozen or dozens of capital ships. The strength of the coast guard force is really not enough for people to stuff their teeth......

"It's really better to see than to hear, I didn't expect the gap between us and the Tessie people to become so big." Wang Rulong held the railing in his hand and said with a stern face.

"This is normal, and Westerners will feel the same way when they see Zheng He's fleet." Zhao Gongzi said calmly: "In the past hundred and fifty years, we have closed ourselves to the country and retreated, and people have set sail and made great strides and progress, so it has naturally become like this. ”

Saying that, Zhao Hao raised his voice and encouraged the soldiers on the ship: "Since you know the shame, you will be brave in the future!" Let's learn from the long skills of Yi to control them, capture their oriental beauties, and study them well! Build a ship taller than them! ”

"Whew! Oh! Oh! ”

The soldiers burst out with an earth-shattering wolf howl, and the dull atmosphere was swept away, and the fighting spirit was full at once.

"Childe, can you have them all!" The officers looked hungrily at the largest ship, and the blackened governor of Goa seemed even more tempting.

"Haha, good, ambitious!" Zhao Hao laughed loudly, and said in his heart that it was estimated to be the flagship of the Portuguese and Macao fleets, and if it was really deducted, it would be a mortal enmity with them, which was inconsistent with the strategic direction.

At this time, the fleet completed an arc of battle lines and encircled the bay solidly. Small ships and speedboats are still cruising and protecting the outer lines as before.

This time, even the 101 ships participated in the battle line, which shows that it is like a great enemy.

~~

Seeing the boat with a white flag coming from the harbor, Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that our previous performance was not in vain." These Tessie people have always remembered to speak well only when they are jealous. ”

"It's cheap!" Wang Rulong took a sip and ordered the fleet to drop anchor, anchor in place, and maintain the best attack posture.

One by one, the warships dropped their iron anchors at the front and rear, and fastened them to the sea by long anchor chains.

Eight South Asian sailors rowed to the front of the fleet in small boats. The nearby 404 boat immediately stepped forward to intercept it. After the body search, two red-haired ghosts and a Han man who was also wearing leggings were sent to the flagship.

Many of the police officers were seeing Europeans for the first time, and they were very surprised by these guys with curly hair, high noses, deep eyes, and blue eyes.

"No wonder it's called a red-haired ghost, isn't this the same as the yaksha in the City God Temple."

"It's so ugly, it's so pitiful, with such a high nose, how can you find a daughter-in-law?" The officers saw that the red hair on their arms was thick, and the wide shirts also showed a lot of heart hair. I can't help but feel a lot of sympathy for these Francs. "It's just spending money, and Sister Yao, who talks a little bit, doesn't wait. Even if the lights are turned off, it's still too tingling......"

"Hahahaha!" The crew members who are adrift on the sea go straight to the next three roads in three sentences. "There's nowhere to go!"

"Hey, worry about it, cats looking for cats, dogs looking for dogs, and monkeys looking for big horse monkeys. They must have a female ghost too. The well-informed old police officer smiled: "Everyone has hair, and no one dislikes anyone!" ”

Fortunately, the two Portuguese crew members could not understand Chinese, otherwise they would have been to death.

~~

The sea was windy, and Zhao Gongzi met with the messenger of the Buddha in the large conference room of the stern.

In the large conference room, there is still a map of the power of Northern Kyushu, and Zhao Gongzi sits on the chair of the Taishi. Wang Rulong and the other generals stood solemnly on both sides of him, all of them wearing dark blue police robes, and the army was neat and full of momentum.

Two Franco-men were brought in, took off their hats, and muttered in Portuguese. The Han Chinese, who acted as an interpreter, hurriedly explained that this was to introduce themselves and extend their most sincere greetings to the adults of the Celestial Empire.

Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but think of the translator of "The Devil is Coming", it is estimated that this guy did not translate honestly, but unfortunately he couldn't understand Portuguese, so he snorted coldly and said: "Don't pretend, make it clear." ”

"They said they should ask the son for his purpose." After the translation was completed, while wiping his sweat, he smiled and said, "Don't care, Childe, these red-haired ghosts are very direct and rude." ”

Zhao Hao waved his hand and signaled that it was okay, and then Wang Rulong replied in a deep voice:

"Listen, this is the Ming Royal Shipping Corporation, shouldering the heavy responsibility of shipping grain for the Heavenly Empire! The previous time the Japanese invaders actually dared to send a large army to attack our shipping fleet, and after interrogating the prisoners, I learned that the Japanese were all under the command of the Japanese Kyushu Hizen Daimyō! This is the most serious provocation to our Celestial Empire, and it is the most extreme contempt for my Ming Dynasty. This time, we came to level the Kyushu Wako, so that the world would know that those who offended me would be punished even if they were far away! ”

The interpreter was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to wake up like a dream and mutter. I don't know what the last sentence will translate.

The Portuguese, however, were clearly not intimidated. They went all the way from Lisbon to Africa, defeated the mighty Ottoman and Indian fleets, and controlled the African coast, the Indian Ocean, and the South China Sea.

So the two muttered and discussed, and then said stiffly that the Japanese didn't know about those things, they only knew that this was the defense area of the Royal Portuguese Navy, and asked the Ming people to leave quickly!

Zhao Hao's face sank when he heard this, he patted the armrest of the chair, and shouted: "Don't come to this set, this is the great tomorrow, my country's vassal, you dare to say such things to the master of Japan?!" ”

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Zhao Gongzi said in an accentuated tone: "This Gongzi already knew that you were accomplices of the Japanese!" If I hadn't brought so many warships, we would have been greeted not by messengers with white flags, but by your artillery fire! Just like here four years ago, you did to the Japanese! ”
